Geert, Thanks for the advice it helped. My problem was that I was trying to be lazy and just not handle namespaces correctly and of course this approach was not working. I essentially wanted Marklogic to trust that I would handle the namespaces, but it would of course insert the empty namespace into nodes returned from modules where no default namespace was declared.
I have since corrected my approach, declared default namespaces in all my modules, defined namespaces properly in my XML where I had not done so, and it all works perfectly now. It's a slow process but I am learning :-) Thanks for your advice and that of others on the list for steering me in the right direction.
